This four-day retreat offers a thoughtful immersion into the ancient Taoist Water Method, created for those who want to move beyond surface-level practice and explore the deeper internal processes that shape physical and energetic well-being.
Guided by Paul Cavel, you will discover how Tai Chi, Qigong, and Tao Yoga all point toward the same essential aim: releasing the blockages that limit vitality and supporting a natural state of ease and flow. Held in the peaceful, sunlit setting of Finca La Lola, the retreat provides space to step away from daily noise and enter a structured, restorative environment. Whether your intention is to support healing in the body, settle the mind, or deepen an established practice, you will be offered a clear and practical framework for bringing these timeless principles into everyday life.
Soften the body and let go of deep physical and mental tension.
Develop awareness of inner healing and awaken your energy.
Support alignment in the body and strengthen the core through lengthened tissues.
Build internal power while developing balance and full-body coordination.
Learn practical ways to bring body, mind, and spirit into focus in your daily life.
This course is suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners.
Paul has devoted more than 35 years to the Water Method, including medical Qigong, Tai Chi, and Taoist meditation. As a senior instructor under Master Bruce Frantzis, he is the principal of The Tai Chi Space (TTCS) and a best-selling author on Taoist arts.
Recognized for his clear, balanced, and practical teaching style, Paul’s retreats draw students from around the world. His presence at Finca La Lola offers a rare opportunity to study with a master deeply committed to preserving these ancient traditions for future generations.
"Having been Paul Cavel's student for two decades, I appreciate his clear and precise style of teaching combined with a playfulness which makes learning a pleasurable experience. Paul uses metaphors out of our everyday experience to shorten the process of transmitting information, enhance our learning and awaken our bodily intelligence. This way of teaching requires a very deep level of understanding of the material and, indeed, of human nature itself. Paul obviously has both."
